Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically relating to an anti-overflow air pipe head and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Air ducts are essential for ventilation in ship cabins, balancing cabin pressure and preventing seawater backflow. Existing standard air ducts are installed at the end of pipes, allowing connection to a pipe at only one end, and are solely for ventilation, lacking the function of preventing liquid overflow. For special-purpose vessels requiring protection against liquid overflow, this type of air duct is unsuitable. Therefore, a new type of air duct needs to be designed, whose main functions include ventilation, fire prevention, and protection against liquid overflow, and which can be connected between pipes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an anti-overflow air nozzle, comprising:

[0005] The cylinder is hollow inside and has exhaust holes at both ends.

[0006] The cylinder cover is located at both ends of the cylinder body, including an upper cylinder cover and a lower cylinder cover, and the cylinder cover is provided with a through hole corresponding to the vent hole.

[0007] Preferably, a fireproof mesh is installed at the vent at one end of the cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the cylinder is equipped with a pipe head opening and closing device. After the liquid enters the cylinder, the pipe head opening and closing device floats up under the action of buoyancy and connects with the vent hole of the cylinder to achieve the sealing of the vent hole. After the liquid level drops, the pipe head opening and closing device descends and opens the vent hole.

[0009] Preferably, the pipe head opening and closing device includes:

[0010] A sealing ring is installed around the vent hole.

[0011] The float has a cross-sectional area on its upper surface that is larger than the outer perimeter of the sealing ring. Under the action of buoyancy, it floats up and fits tightly against the vent hole.

[0012] The pipe opening and closing device, fireproof net and sealing ring are all set at the vent hole at the end where the cylinder body and the upper cylinder cover are connected.

[0013] Preferably, the buoy includes:

[0014] The float seat is a hollow cylindrical cavity fixed around the vent hole, and has multiple elongated holes on it.

[0015] The float is located inside the float seat.

[0016] Preferably, the cylinder cover is made by welding a flange and a short pipe.

[0017] Preferably, the cap and the cylinder body are connected by bolts.

[0018] In addition to providing an anti-overflow air nozzle, the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned anti-overflow air nozzle, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0019] Step 1: Weld the flange to the short pipe to form the upper cylinder cover and the lower cylinder cover;

[0020] Step 2: Inside the cylinder on one side of the upper cover, connect the fireproof mesh and the sealing ring with bolts respectively;

[0021] Step 3: Place the float inside the float seat and fix the float seat around the vent hole on one side of the upper cylinder cover;

[0022] Step 4: Connect the upper and lower cylinder covers to both ends of the cylinder body using bolts.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] The anti-overflow air nozzle provided by this invention has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, and convenient installation, making it suitable for ship compartment applications with special requirements. This anti-overflow air nozzle can automatically close the vent when the fuel tank is filled to the float position to prevent fuel spillage; when the fuel level drops, it automatically opens the vent to achieve air convection and balance the air pressure in the compartment.

[0025] This invention solves the problem that the air pipe head cannot prevent liquid overflow in the chamber, allowing chambers with special needs to be ventilated normally. The vent automatically closes when the liquid medium in the tank reaches the float position and automatically opens when the liquid level drops. The air pipe head can also be installed in the middle of the pipeline. Attached Figure Description
